In an official statement to music website Drfunkenberry.com, Prince's rep insisted that Houston is always welcome to attend any of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's live performances.

"Whitney Houston is always welcome at Prince shows 4 all of eternity. Seeing her at 2 shows at The Forum in L.A. was a treat, especially when she sang with Chaka Khan and danced with Prince during his set. We love her always (sic)," the statement read.
